I loved this episode
Dennis is amazing!!
Thank u for interviewing such
A special person!
I am a huge fan of Prager, and have listened to hundreds of hours of his content.
Yet, it is important to point out that many (most?) of his opinions run completely contrary to the Torah, and we must therefore be cautious of what we learn from him.
Perhaps you’d like to explain your opinion?
Which opinions in particular do you mean apart from his politics?
His hashkofa is not ours, which he will tell you himself. But he has a lot of general common sense wisdom that I enjoy listening to. He’s done much good for society at large.
He sold out to Trump in 2016 and he’s been lost ever since. It’s a shame because he once made sense and stood for something. Now he’s just another talking head.
100%! I liked one of his books that he co-authored with Joseph Telushkin, but I was very disappointed after he sold out to Trump.
His mother was a first cousin of the six Hecht brothers who helped make Lubavitch in America what it is today.
